from its skin. 
“Go, Go!” we say to the Nazarite: 
“Take a circuitous route! Do not approach the vineyard!”¹ 
It is this that is written:... *and he left his garment with her... 
*– the skin of the evil inclination, 
and this is the garment of the snake – idol worship – 
when it comes to conjoin with the righteous, 
and it says, “*lie with me*” – the brazen whore – then 
it is stated of the ‘sign of covenant’ of circumcision: 
*... and he fled and he went outside*.]
